Since so many of you asked how Jill poofed her hair, I thought I would have her show you. She agreed to come over and do a step-by-step video of her poofing routine. It's kind of long, but she is very detailed.....12 minutes to be exact. Hopefully, it will help! She is, by far, the best poofer I know!

Here is a picture of the hair spray she uses, in case you forgot the name of it! It's Freeze It Original.

I haven't watched the video yet but this cracks me up haha!! I didn't comment asking how but certainly wondered, since I can tease the HECK out of my hair and spray it like crazy, etc and it falls in 5 minutes and looks awful!! SO.... thanks in advance for the video Jill and Jennifer!! :)

This made my morning!!! My friends always wonder how I do my poof...they think I learned it in TEXAS - however, I must always correct them ant tell them only from my beautiful ARKANSAS pageant friends did I learn the art of the poof. I have this AMAZING comb I get from Sallys that I have given several people here. And embarrassingly - the first time I ever went to a party at one of my church friends houses...I did a demonstration for my friends. The poof is life changing!! ha ha ha!

Ya'll crack me up, and are sooo cute when doing a demonstration on "Poofing"! I like how Brody was assisting in the process! Thanks for the tip for a good poof! I LOL when Jill said the higher the poof the closer you are to God!! Sooo funny! Ya'll are too cuteSummer :0)

Jennifer - I LOVE your blog and enjoy reading about your little family. I look at your blog often, but don't usually comment, but I need to change that - hee hee. I guess I'm starting today! This video was priceless - so much fun and it cracked me up. I really enjoyed the education of making a good poof...wow that was awesome. I'll have to see if I can pull that off sometime! Have a wonderful weekend in Arkansas. We used to live in Conway, but we are in the Dallas area now

I've been a blog lurker but after watching this video just HAD to comment! I don't have any sisters, but watching the way you two interact with one another made me wish I did. This just simply cracked me up! I love her comment about the bigger the poof the closer you are to God - ha! :) I also just enjoyed simply listening to you talk... I'm from Indiana if that explains anything. Have a great day, Jennifer and Jill!!

I cant believe y'all did a 12 minute video on hair and never mentioned your hair stylist! haha! I loved the video and Mom said she really learned from it! She said she is going to watch it over and over! I died laughing at Brody carrying your makeup case. He might want to do hair one day after witnessing that! :)

Oh my goodness y'all are too much. I LOVE your accents! haha So cute. I am definitely going to try this poofing thing out. I've been so tempted to buy a bump it but just won't let myself. If I'm successful I'll send you a pic. ;)

I have been following your blog for a bit and just adore your family! I had to comment after the poof demo... LOVE IT! I loved hearing you 2 interact, makes me wish I had a sister. I am totally going to try Jill's method. Happy poofing!

This is so funny. I don't know if I ever commented before, but this one made me crack up. Brody is such a good baby, by the way. Anyway - how is the quality of her hair? Is it damaged or no? I can't get over how she teases it like that!

You are Jill are the cutest ever!! The video made me laugh so hard! I usually use a fine tooth comb when I do my proof but I am going to try the brush to see if I can get it as big as Jill's :) Thanks!! I love reading your blog :) I liked the entry about your walmart clothes :) I was so impressed that I even went to Walmart and got this really cute shirt for $7!!

Hey girl! I stumbled on your blog from Kelly's Korner...and LOVE that poofing video! Since I moved to NWA from OBU, I have been admiring the HUGE poofs here....glad to get some directions. Hope it works for me!

LOVE IT! You 2 make me laugh. The girls and I at work watched it because we are always trying to get our poof to stay and it never does. Walmart should give Jill and extra bonus for this free advertisement!

OMG I'M SO THANKFUL KELLY Posted the link to this b/c i'm soo gonna try to do the "poof" now! I'm an Arkansas girl but was born in Texas so I shouldn't have a problem at all b/c it's in my blood! lol.. thanks for the great video and i agree on the hairspray! it's the best! :)

Now that was too stinkin cute!!! This is my first time visiting your blog (I saw your blog through Kelly's Korner) and I just love you and your sister. Yall have the cutest southern accent and you are both very beautiful. Now I am going to try my hand at the poofing thing as soon as I get to Wally World for the Freeze it hairspray.

I'm brand new to your blog (from Kelly's Korner) and I think you and your sis are HYSTERICAL and adorable. This cute video made me miss my sister so much. (We are best friends and live in different states.)

I've lived my whole life and never knew how to POOF....you complete me.

I'm trying it tomorrow (but I won't be as close to God as you...I'll go for a low poof or my friends might freak.):)

Keep the hair help coming. How does your hair not feel like gunk and good after all the hairspray???

I need help with bangs...can you help me with that next?Kelly in Michigan (the unpoofed state)

I used to be a hairstylist and LOVE the poof also!!! It always cracked my clients up when there hair was standing straight up after teasing it..it probably freaked them out a little too before seeing the actual style lol!

Came over from Kelly's Korner - LOVE this video. I am a HUGE fan of the poof, even being a northern girl. :) Anyway - this video is just awesome and I think your little assistant Brody is just THE cutest!

OMgosh! I LOVE THIS!!!! THANK YOU!!! I am going to Walmart tomorrow to find that stuff! I SOOO need a poof!!!! My 9 year old watched the video with me and is also begging for a poof! Thank you both!!!! :o)

You need to go to Sally's Beauty supply. My daughter showed me a comb she bought there that works great in place of the hair brush. It's a comb with like 3 rows of teeth just made for teasing the hair. Patti

Hilarious! I saw your video on Kelly's Korner. FUNNY! I was laughing so hard--my teenager daughter asked me "what are you watching??". I am a child of the 80's and love me some big poofy hair. I am certainly going to find me some of the Freeze "IT" product. Thanks for sharing. You are too cute!

I hate to admit this..but I just looked for a video on u tube on how to poof! Your video however, was much better..I loved it! You are both so funny! My husband was laughing at me b/c I said I can't wait to try it tomorrow. Thanks for making many women of the world have a better poof!!

Oh my gracious y'all are too funny! I came over from Kelly's...couldn't resist a poof tutorial! I just started poofing in the last few months and I think I'm addicted! Guess it's just a southern thang! LOL!

I just loved this! I have ALWAYS wanted to do a "poof" and never could get it to look right - I finally done it Sunday for Church but it didnt look as good as yours! My husband watched this with me and said Hunny I hope you dont do that - it looks like a basketball is sitting on her head HA! Men - they dont know style! :) Yall are both beautiful!

how toooo cute! You two (y'all) remind me of me and my sister!!! ;) Speaking of -- sisters -- mine got married on November 8th, and this little "lesson in poofing" session would have been VERY helpful. Oh, my goodness! I had to do her "up-do" on her wedding day, and that whole "poofing" thing about did me in!!!!!! Loved your reference to Beth, Jill!!! ;*] Blessings, girlies!

I jumped over from Kelly's Korner to watch the video. I must say we need you Southern ladies to teach us Midwest gals how to properly poof! We live in the middle of nowhere on the prairie and my two little girls will eventually have the best poofs ever from this video!

Hi Jennifer-I haven been reading your site for a while, but today I am de-lurking! I saw the hair poofing video yesterday and then today Kelly (Kelly's Korner) mentioned it in her post so I had to stop over again!The video is so funny and Jill is such a good sport! Here in Massachusetts I could NEVER get away with a poof like that, but God bless you southern girls! I love it!

Hopping over from Kelly's Korner. Ya'll are too cute! Love the poof and will definitely have to give it a try! Thanks for the poof rehab! I've never been able to get mine to stay. Poofs all over the south will never be the same!

LOVE IT! I'm not reading through all 99 comments before me but like most people (I assume) I was brought to your blog from Kelly's Korner although I've been a reader since your little Brody was born! Thanks to you and Jill for showing how the poof can be achieved - I'm thinking I'll need some layers before I can actually reach this level of greatness with my hair! You both cracked me up. Thanks for the video, I'm headed to WalMart today to find me some Freeze It! Merry Christmas to you and your family. :)

I am also a poofer! But I think that you have just gave me some great tips to make mine a lot better, mine has a tendency to look ratty in the back. So I will most definelty be getting my hands on that hairspray. Thank you for sharing, I loved every minute. Your hair is amazing!!!

That's a funny video! I'm from Texas, so of course I'm a poofer! ;) It's part of our southern upbringing, am I right ladies?

I have a little secret that helps...I have a few of those huge velcro rollers, and I'll take small sections starting at the crown and roll. Do about two or three sections. Let set for a while (like while you are doing your make-up) and then take down, spraying and teasing as you do.

Oh, and I meant to add that when I was a teenager in the late 1980s/early 1990s, we had a KILLER product called "Stiff Stuff" that we'd use to poof our hair after hot rolling it. That stuff was amazing. Too bad they don't sell it anymore! Anyone in their 30s remember Stiff Stuff? LOL

I LOVE this! I'm an Arkansas girl living in Boston, MA and this made me so homesick! I still do the poof and tell my coworkers "the higher the hair, the closer to Jesus"..they just laugh, but I think they are jealous! LOL Thanks for the smile and long live the poof!

This is so fun to watch!! I am way too hurried with my hair/makeup to ever do it right, but I love this. I NEED to send this to a lady in my church who rocks the 'bump-IT' every Sunday, with half of the brown thing hanging from the edges of her platinum blonde hair!! Very distracting from the morning message!

I have watched this video about 4 times now! I just sit in awe! I bought some Freeze It over the weekend and let's just say, I need practice! This morning I was just trying to create a small poof to give my flat hair some volume. It worked, but it has already fallen flat! I have really thick heavy hair but I'm also lacking the layers which I don't think is doing me any favors...at any rate, thanks for the video! LOVE it :)

hahah.. every time I see a bottle of Freeze It, I think of this video and it brings a smile to my face! Okay and I have to admit that I have tried it... ok, it worked but it did not look half as good as your sister's!! My hair is so fine so I am sure that is part of the reason!! Oh, well, I must keep trying!! BTW, Love your blog, I am now a follower!!
